Susan Sontag said photographs sends across the harmlessness and helplessness of the human life steering into their own ruin. Furthermore the bond connecting photography with departure from life tortures the human race. (Sontag 1977:64) As stated by Judith Butler, the view of Susan Sontag, visible throughout her texts claiming that the photograph can’t reflect clarification by itself, would be senseless. She indicates that we require captions and written examination to support the diverse imagery

Trifles and Women’s Rights Susan Glaspell used her play Trifles to show what could happen if a woman was treated with such disrespect as she was in the early 20th century. Trifles was written and first performed in 1916, and during that time women served as servants to their husbands. They were responsible for cleaning the house, making babies, and cooking; meanwhile, the man was the “bread winner” or the provider of the house. Trifles begins, like any other investigation, with the Sheriff questioning

abuse and verbal abuse. Trifles let the woman that was getting know abused that they wasn’t the only one and another woman could related. Trifles is cold case. In the theater piece Trifles, Minnie Wright was the voice for the woman in Trifles and Susan Glaspell the author could related. However, Trifles is different from other cases. Mrs. Minnie Foster had killed her husband in his sleep. In the story, the men’s failure to recognize the small details that must be related to the murder tells how men

official formal one by the men as well as the unofficial informal one by the women.( Beatty, 1) Throughout the play the women in their own way solve the crime while the men hit a dead end. There are a variety of perceptions and interpretations of Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles”. These were the ones most attention-grabbing or noteworthy: the notion that the three women in this play Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Peters, and Mrs. Wright are allegorically based on the Fate sisters from Greek mythology; secondly, the connection

loneliness, female identity in society, and revenge. Susan Glaspell gains confidence to create this piece of art because during the 1900’s, women were discriminated. Glaspell increases the knowledge of those who did not live in her time by showing the difference between men and women. Women has a specific place, a specific thing to do at the home, and a specific time to speak to others. Where as men could do as they please, whenever they please. Susan Glaspell depicts the theme of the play, revenge,

In Susan Glaspell’s Trifles(1961) the County Attorney, George Henderson, is investigating the murder of John Wright. The County Attorney is joined along side a witness, Mr Hale, his wife, the Sheriff, and his wife. As the story goes on, you learn through dramatic irony that it was indeed Mrs. Wright who murdered John Wright. Many literary works have clear defined gender roles, Glaspell use’s these gender roles to show the mistreatment and representation of the women in the play. This feminist analysis

Susan Glaspell one-act-play “Trifles” taken place in the 1900s. Since this play was written in the 1900s, it falls within the Modernism Period of American literature. Before she became Mrs. Wright her name used to be Minnie Foster but was referred only to Mrs. in the play trifles and was describe as a woman who used to sing in the church choir, dress nice and was once known for her lively personality, but when she got married and became Mrs. Wright, her husband John Wright who was known to be and

analyzing thoroughly. I have decided to use Trifles by Susan Glaspell for my paper. As a person who loves literature, I tend to gravitate more towards the seemingly simple but very complex plots. I ended up loving the concept and the base for the short play. Not only is the play packed with symbolism, but the play is based on a real life murder case; just like the ending of the story, Kilifi Creek, was based on a real accident. I liked the creativity Susan Glaspell uses to depict the themes she wants readers

Susan Glaspell challenges society’s set ideas of gender roles through her one-act mystery play “Trifles”. At first glance, Glaspell creates a seemly innocent metaphor comparing Minnie Foster to a bird, however as the play progresses a darker tone of the metaphor unravels – one that illustrates how easily women can be trapped into their gender roles, as birds can be in cages.

In the short story, Susan Glaspell's (1916) "Trifles," tells a perplexing mystery in which a woman's husband was strangled to death while laying in bed next to her sleeping. There are points in the story which Mrs. Wright, whose being held in custody, seems to be stereotyped by the men. As the County Attorney, Sheriff, and Hale walk through the farmhouse investigating the scene, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale sit at a table observing Mrs. Wright's kitchen connecting dots themselves about what might have
